Thought you'd like to meet my girls - the chickens, that is. Sophia (or Sophie) is a Silkie. She's as soft as a bunny. Pure white. In this pic, my daughters put a barret in her "hair." She lays a small brown egg.
Harriet is a big brown hen. This pic is of her on a perch in their kennel. She is special because she lays the green eggs.
Red is a Rhode Island Red. Our hair is the same color. Well, her feathers and my hair. She lays the big brown eggs. Two of Sophie's eggs equals one of Red's.
The girls are very friendly. They not only provide us with eggs, they are our pets. They have a nice kennel area, but also a fenced-in "play pen," as we call it. They have lots of room to run around and play. Of course, they love being left out to run around the yard. The garden is one of their favorite spots because of all that grows there and all the bugs.
